I'm curious. What's your perspective on the current aggro mechanics for the Mage class. How do you deal with it when the Pet dies?

You don’t let it die. There is no backup plan besides doing more damage and racing hp bars without aggro. Pick easier targets to exp on (old world stuff).

The only time I’ve had a pet die in a group was killing summonable mobs (cliff golems, eejag, phingal). In these cases if another pet or player is on it you won’t get summoned. Get another pet up and send it in ASAP.

I know it may be depressing now but there are situations where a mage can really impress (their dps is HIGHLY underrated). Level 49 is a huge one. Level 57 is as well. I’d find a shaman or enchanter buddy and just destroy stuff.
